Black business leaders in America face unique challenges and must develop a considerable perseverance in order to press through the obstacles that they face, says Ƶ Trustee Barron Witherspoon Sr.
In The Black Exec, Witherspoon writes candidly about what he says are the myths Black leaders face. “These myths include common narratives surrounding belonging and value: Your colleagues don’t respect you, can’t understand you, and won’t listen to you. They lowered the standards so you could be here.”
With 35 years as a leading executive at Procter & Gamble and placement on numerous “most influential lists,” Witherspoon was named one of the Top 50 Multi-Cultural Leaders by the National Diversity Council. He is an ordained minister and the author of The Fallacy of Affinity, a book on the importance of multi-cultural worship. He is an equestrian, an involved member of his community, a proud husband, and a father of two adult children.
Copies of The Black Exec are available on Amazon.
